Erosion and Deposition in Agno River

1) The document describes how erosion and deposition shape a river over time due to flooding and flowing water. 2) Erosion occurs when materials are carried downstream by flowing water, deepening and changing the shape of the river canal. 3) Deposition happens when the flowing water loses speed and drops materials, causing the river to split into different directions over time and form curves and slopes along the stream.

The Browninindicates
the [Link] coastal erosion
that are made due to frequent flowing
of water and materials in the river.
Due to rocks falling in the side of the
river due to strong winds and heavy
rain , flooding the river with the
materials flowing with it causing
erosion.

Curves and slopes in the river causes loss


of velocity which then causes river to have
deposition
 Hydraulic action - This is the
sheer power of the water as it
smashes against the river banks.
Air becomes trapped in the cracks
in the rock of the river bank and
bed, and causes the rock to break
apart.
 Abrasion - When pebbles
grind along the river bank and bed
in a sand-papering effect.
 Attrition - When rocks that
the river is carrying knock against
each other. They break apart to
become smaller and more
rounded.
 Solution - When the water
dissolves certain types of rocks, eg
limestone.

This is what causes the river banks to deepen because of


erosion, this is why agno river is continuously being deeper
and splitting in to different directions.

The blue line represent how the river


might be headed after a cycle of
erosion and deposition occurs over
time.

The water is eroded because of


erosion if this continues it might
contaminate the rest of agno
river Coastal erosion is being
formed due to constant
flowing of water and causes
the river sides to be steeper
River beds and banks where friction reduces
velocity causing [Link] River’s speed
around the outside of the bend as it cuts its
way, the water is much slower on the inside of
the bend where mud and stones are deposited.

River paths split due to lose of


enough kinetic energy and
deposits the materials to a
different spot,building up layers of
sediment a then causing the river
to split and meet again
